LIBRARY NEWS
In April, library staff celebrated National Library Week (NLW) with many fun patron activities and a Year-in-Review video created by Katy Hanousek. The Library closed at 2:30 PM in observance of the Village's four-hour Good Friday holiday (4/15) and celebrated National Volunteers Week (April 18-22). Library staff met with Village staff to collaborate on a permanent StoryWalk proposal. The StoryWalk was approved at the May 4th Village Parks meeting and will be purchased with the remainder of the ALA grant funds.
